Logs of the focus group discussion for #strategic-cruisers

[19:15] <ccp_fozzie> Plan is to update SISI with the first build of the July release tomorrow. Biggest risk factor that might knock that off schedule is if there is an issue with the upgrade script that converts everyone's subsystems into the new ones, but I'd say the chance of us being live on sisi tomorrow are pretty high

[19:15] <ccp_fozzie> once it's up we'll do some testing of the cruisers from our side to make sure they're ready for public testing in this build

[19:16] <ccp_fozzie> but I don't expect there to be any showstoppers there

[19:16] <ccp_fozzie> decent chance that some of the bonuses might be broken here and there

[19:17] <ccp_fozzie> but we'll have them ready for you folks to test with asap

[19:18] <ccp_fozzie> I'm pulling a late night tonight to get some issues with bonuses ironed out, but thankfully the new Lorde album makes excellent dogma authoring music

[19:18] <eustise> i've been talking with Signal Cartel and pending seeing some full fits in action with solid numbers regarding EHP we may need to seriously discuss the future of doing high level explo in t3cs, since switching to a defensive system will mean removing the virus strenght/coherence bonus which makes it fantastically hard in Superior Sleeper caches

[19:20] <ccp_fozzie> keep me updated with what you find once you get access to ghost fitting on them

[19:20] <ccp_fozzie> at this point what ship do you think would be the main candidate to replace them if they don't meet your needs anymore?

[19:21] <eustise> it'd have to be the stratios, but that would mean no nullification option, and generally, no other real option

[19:21] <eustise> and no, sorry, no, nestor is no.

[19:23] <eustise> johny splunk shared some fits from their guys, active-tank based, compared to my usual buffer fits for them so i'll use them to test out whether the 7.5%/level bonus from the covops sub is enough
